Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Noodle and Doodle, an instructional series targeting preschoolers, features creating art projects and cooking projects around a specific theme. Host, Sean, drives around in a double-decker bus fully equipped with art supplies and a kitchen, ready for any assignment. The projects encourage parent engagement and often feature families working together to make something to display within the child's home. Sean's side-kick, Doggity, is an ever-faithful beagle who transforms into an animated character during interstitial trips to a parallel universe, set in a kitchen full of prank playing animated characters. The art projects typically promote utilizing recycled materials in order to demonstrate that creativity can transform something intended for one purpose into something that achieves a completely different goal. Every episode can be replicated at home with ease by parents and children playing together. During 3rd quarter 2012 many children's programs were moved to secondary time periods as seven weekends were impacted with total or partial preemptions due to live sporting events including but not limited to Summer Olympics, Tour de France, college football and golf. Most preempted programs were rescheduled in established secondary time periods which includes the expansion of the children program block on both Saturday and Sunday and 11am on Sunday airing in regular telecast pattern where possible. Preemptions and program movements were promoted in advance on air and through listing services and television guides. All children's programming scheduled on 9/29 was pre-empted due to the Ryder Cup live sports coverage. These programs have been rescheduled, but in the 4th quarter. This quarter reflects the advanced rescheduled date information, but does not list the advance telecast as a part of the quarterly program average for this report. Programming for next quarter will reflect the quarterly average for additional 3 hours of children's programming.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Poppy Cat, based on the book series by Lara Jones, models the use of imagination and storytelling to encourage creative thinking in viewers. Each episode features the narrator Lara, reading a story about Poppy Cat, to her own cat (who is also named Poppy). She weaves an exciting tale following her imagination, which leads her to distant lands reached by boat, plane, hot air balloon or train. Each story features Poppy Cat, as the leader of a group of animal friends - Zuzu, a Dalmatian who zips around on a skateboard; Alma, a southern belle bunny who is ultra-feminine and sweetly dramatic, Mo, a little mouse who tries his best to do as much as everyone else despite his size; Owl, the wise one who is prone to neck rolls and commentary when things irritate him or don't make sense, and the grouchy Egbert, an arrogant and obnoxious badger who refuses to play with the group and invariably attempts to sabotage their adventures. Occasionally Hilda, a forgetful and ditzy pigeon who flies into their adventures, appears to say hello or provide misguided directions to the friends. A prevailing message emerges within each episode to be nice to your friends and always work together. There remains an overarching implicit message within every episode as well: think creatively and exercise your mind through reading and storytelling - for these activities always lead to enjoyment and adventure. During 3rd quarter 2012 many children's programs were moved to secondary time periods as seven weekends were impacted with total or partial preemptions due to live sporting events including but not limited to Summer Olympics, Tour de France, college football and golf. Most preempted programs were rescheduled in established secondary time periods which includes the expansion of the children program block on both Saturday and Sunday and 11am on Sunday airing in regular telecast pattern where possible.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Lazy Town encourages fitness and healthful habits for preschool children, specifically targeting children ages 2 to 5. In the imaginary setting of Lazy Town, characters eating and fitness habits are linked to problem solving in their world. The lead character is Stephanie, a young girl who guides the audience through the story as she and her friends and her Uncle (Mayor Milford Meanswell) navigate life within Lazy Town coaxing friends and relatives into adopting a healthful, active life style. Robbie Rotten, the underground spy and influencer who personifies the ethos of Lazy Town, is determined to ruin the health and fitness practices of Stephanie and her friends. When the kids have difficulty with Robbie Rotten, Sportacus, a gymnast/athlete prepared to answer any call for help, comes to the rescue from his home in a zeppelin-like aircraft that hovers over earth. The underlying themes of Lazy Town stress the importance of eating sports candy such as fruits and vegetables, always obtaining sufficient sleep, and going outside to engage in a wide range of physical activities including playing games, competing athletically, and even building forts and play structures. During 3rd quarter 2012 many childrens programs were moved to secondary time periods as seven weekends were impacted with total or partial preemptions due to live sporting events including but not limited to Summer Olympics, Tour de France, college football and golf.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Justin Time is an animated show specifically directed to the preschool audience (ages 2 to 5) and always conveys an embedded lesson; it is possible to understand and manage any problem you have by thinking about it creatively. The show features a little boy, Justin, who wants very much to master his destiny, have great adventures, and solve problems. He begins with a problem that vexes him and daydreams his way into an adventure that takes him to different places around the world, providing him with an experience to help solve his problem when he returns home. Justin is accompanied by two imaginary friends throughout his adventures; Olive, a knowledgeable playmate, and Squidgy, the morphing flying sponge, who provides commentary and comedy along the way. Some examples of Justin's lessons involve learning that it takes focus to achieve success, our failures can teach what we need to do to succeed next time, or when one path to solve a problem doesn't work, you can find an alternative way to achieve your goal. Justin promotes self-directed learning from the young child's perspective and imagination. The show provides many facts about the context the characters visit while on the adventure, but the central point is to teach a lesson about a social/emotional dilemma universally experienced by preschool children. During 3rd quarter 2012 many children's programs were moved to secondary time periods as seven weekends were impacted with total or partial preemptions due to live sporting events including but not limited to Summer Olympics, Tour de France, college football and golf. Most preempted programs were rescheduled in established secondary time periods which includes the expansion of the children program block on both Saturday and Sunday and 11am on Sunday airing in regular telecast pattern where possible.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. The Wiggles is a musical variety show specifically designed for pre-school children. Starring Tony, Murray, Greg and Jeff, the Wiggles offer a montage of skits that are specifically designed for teaching and entertaining the preschool audience. Supported by an ensemble of characters, larger than life animals (humans dressed as animal characters) as well as a pirate, Captain Feathersword; the Wiggles teach numbers, letters, colors, matching and classifying what belongs together (or not), and following directions. Featuring dancing and occasional guest artists the Wiggles provides a plethora of visual interest for the viewer, while presenting the lessons in an easily understandable and developmentally appropriate manner for the preschool child. During 3rd quarter 2012 many childrens programs were moved to secondary time periods as seven weekends were impacted with total or partial preemptions due to live sporting events including but not limited to Summer Olympics, Tour de France, college football and golf. Most preempted programs were rescheduled in established secondary time periods which includes the expansion of the children program block on both Saturday and Sunday and 11am on Sunday airing in regular telecast pattern where possible. Preemptions and program movements were promoted in advance on air and through listing services and television guides. All childrens programming scheduled on 9/29 was pre-empted due to the Ryder Cup live sports coverage. These programs have been rescheduled, but in the 4th quarter. This quarter reflects the advanced rescheduled date information, but does not list the advance telecast as a part of the quarterly program average for this report. Programming for next quarter will reflect the quarterly average for additional 3 hours of childrens programming.

Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Pajanimals focuses on teaching preschoolers, ages 2 to 5, bedtime routines and practicing them consistently so they can get a good night's sleep. The Pajanimals are a group of four preschool aged puppets who live together in a house with their off-screen mother and father. They reside primarily in their bedroom, a dormitory of sorts, where they complete their nighttime routine of brushing teeth and conversing quietly before falling to sleep. The quiet time, always turns into a discussion that results in a dream-like adventure to solve a problem, such as overcoming shyness, making a new friend, or dealing with a bully. The adventure takes place in several nighttime dream locales where special friends help them work through the social/emotional problem of the day. Specific approaches to managing the problem are demonstrated and practiced throughout the adventure. The children return home in time to get ample rest, confident about facing their issues when they awaken the following day. During 3rd quarter 2012 many children's programs were moved to secondary time periods as seven weekends were impacted with total or partial preemptions due to live sporting events including but not limited to Summer Olympics, Tour de France, college football and golf.
